Intel HD Graphics Driver v6286 Released, Vulkan 1.1.82 Support Added

Intel’s driver team has published a new graphics driver for all recent GPUs (Intel 6th, 7th and 8th Gen processors) on Windows 10. This new driver (version 24.20.100.6286) brings support for Strange Brigade and Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 and comes with the following new features:

– Performance improvements and optimizations for World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth* (for both DirectX* 11 and 12 versions) and Jurassic World Evolution* on 6th Generation Intel® Core processors or higher

– Playability improvements for Vampyr* and Monster Hunter: World*

– Media streaming improvements while using the AVC* codec at low bitrates for 6th Generation Intel® Core processors or higher

– Power optimizations when dynamically switching to lower refresh rates during video playback

“…on Windows 10.” What about Windows 7 users which are the majority and are still growing, and what about us Linux users where Vulkan is treated as a first class citizen (unlike Microsoft who do not allow Vulkan in UWP) and where the interest is higher then ever with the recent release of SteamPlay/Proton?
